The bill would appropri- $329,5668,120 or $4,000,000 more S; n the current polt office act, re- djust rurel carriers’ salaries and in- crease the pay of a number of em- ployes. Magazine publishers have protested vigorously against the rate increase which would affect only pub- lications carried more than 300 miles -and Postmaster General Burleson pro- posed to Chairman Moon of the house apost office committee a subatitute pro- vision to postpone the effectiveness of the increase for a year after the measure becomes a law. The bill as reported would make the new rates Apply after June 30, however and Mr. Moon has not indicated what actlon will be recommended on Mr. Burle- son's suggestion. The bill probably will be debated in the house within a few days. ‘The bill directs that hereafter cata- logues and similar publications be classified as third class mail matter # wwith inereased postage. Another sec- Rion provides that after July 1 next. rural carriers’ pay shall be based on length of routes, time required to serve them and quantity of mail trans- ported. The maximum pay would be 32,000 with a minimum of $480 a year. No rural route which would require an automoblie is to be es- tablished unless the éar can be used with reasonable regularity throughout the year. Another new provision would strangthen the anti-gambling laws di- rected against lotteries, gift ernter- prives of schemes offering prizes de- i pendent upon chance. One thousand dollars fine, two years imprisonment or both are pre- scribed as penalties for malling liquors. NURSE DIES FROM BURNS. Wn ngl'mng Gas Heater and Clothes Caught Fire.

Yes, Lax-a-Tone is doing wonders in New Britain, said Mr. Martin at the FEconomy New England Drug Co., but it is not at all surprising to me as I have seen it accomplish the same in many, many cities in the United States. It has the confidence of the people, and why? It is a simple rea- son. We won’t ask you to take our un- supported word, we don’'t ask you to believe in some great secret formulae that was discovered by accident. We ask you to belleve your own home people and ask you to believe in a formulae that is sclentific and one that we have published and will tell anybody at anytime. It is our process that gets every bit of good that the herbs possess and it is purely Herbal- and you can rely on it. Mrs. Zedrosky says: “I have suffered tortures with head- aches, I had a sour acid stomach, felt tired out, run down and nervous, also suffered greatly with a severe chronic constipation and the more pills I took the more I had to take, I was Just sick and fired taking medicine and when I started Lax-a-Tone I was of the opinion that it would do me no good but my but I am glad that I took it as it has made a well woman out of me and I am glad to endorse it.”” Now if the New Britain people that are suffering from dyspepsia, indiges- tion, bilious spells, headaches, rheu- matic pains, feel tired out, blue and achy, ‘can’t get warm, have cold sweats and sleeplessness, belch up gas from the stomach and have sour ris- ings, will avail themselves of this chance to get a remedy that will give results they will never regret the use of Lax-a-Tone. The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Beonomy New England Drug Co./ 866 Main street, where he is introducing this romedy to the New Britain public. e e ] TO PROSEOUTE PAPER. Spain to Take Action for Idbelous Article in Nacion, Madrid, via Paris, Jan 2, 5:05 a. m. —The Germanophile newspaper - Na- clon will be prosecuted for printing a statement from ‘“‘a high diplomatic personage in relation with the Cen- tral empires” declaring that President ‘Wilson’s note was a severe lesson, for Spain, “Warnings have not been lacking,"” sald the statement, “warnings against getting involved in the contraband Business which in the end will turn out to be a bad business.

Spain is the only European neutral which hes allowed the opportunity to ‘pass to intervene in the great calam- ity wfecting the continent and has been obliged to make way for the United States.” The article, which iz held to be in- sulting and libelous to Premier Ro- manoes, has oaused strong indigna- tion in both the liberal and conserva- tive press.
